collagen
collagen A fibrous
scleroprotein that is almost inert, of high tensile strength, and relatively inelastic, which is a major constituent of
connective tissue and the organic material in
bone. It may represent up to 6% of the total body weight. It is unusual among proteins in that glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline represent over 50% of the total amino-acid residues; and these are arranged in a tight, triple left-handed helix. When boiled, collagen yields gelatin.
